Краткое описание:
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Calvary Holiness Association is a small holiness body of Christians in south Georgia. The Holiness movement among Baptists in Georgia began late in the 19th century among ministers in the Little River Baptist Association. Two churches were excluded from the Little River Association in 1893 because of their teachings on holiness. These two churches and two newly formed churches met in 1894 in Wilcox County, Georgia to organize the Holiness Baptist Association. The Calvary Holiness Association was formed in 1977. Dissatisfied members separated from the Holiness Baptist Association on January 7, 1977 for what they termed "broken confidence and lack of trust in the trustee committee". On January 15, 1977, nine churches met at Community Holiness Baptist Church in Cook County, Georgia and organized a new association, with James A. Harrell as moderator, and Carl H. Carlton as clerk. Four more churches joined on January 29, and a committee of seven was formed to draw up articles of faith, discipline and rules of decorum. On March 26, the articles of faith and by-laws were adopted, the name Calvary Holiness Association, Incorporated agreed upon, and an application to incorporate made.
